Asbestos was only fully banned from use in 1999, so if your premises were built or refurbished before then, there is a possibility that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) could be present. Refurbishments after 1999 and work using imported materials could also contain ACMs. The use of Asbestos was generally in decline in the 90's.
However, some asbestos materials are still in widespread use, in particular in corrugated fibre-cement roof sheeting commonly seen roofing older industrial units and sheds etc. Asbestos materials are also in use elsewhere and may have been added to buildings after the 90's, so, the 1999 cut off point is not a guarantee that asbestos materials are not present.

Services
The current regulations do not place any legal obligations on domestic home owners with regard to how asbestos containing materials (ACM's) are handled on your own property. This is true for the owner of the property, anyone living at the property or a friend of a resident acting on their behalf, without reward.
